True Blood Portia Bellefleur BiographyPortia Bellefleur is a character introduced in Season 4 of True Blood. She is an attorney and a member of the Bellefleur family
Portia was born into the wealthy Bellefleur family, she has an older brother Andy and a cousin, also her senior, Terry. When she was a child her father died and some time later her mother abandoned her, so, Portia along with her older brother moved in with their grandmother. At 16 Portia was made a debutant, and after highschool Portia left for college to study law. By 2010 Portia has moved back to Bon Temps and secured a job as running the Bon Temps Chamber of Commerce.
Portia meets Bill Compton for dinner. While there, she explains she would like to have a relationship with him. Bill tells Portia that he could never love her, yet she is fine with just having a sexual tryst. Later, they consummate their relationship in Bill's home. She tells Bill he can bite her, but he doesn't. ("If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin'?")
Bill meets Portia's grandmother Caroline Bellefleur, and as she and Bill are recounting the Bellefleur family tree, they come to a disturbing realization regarding the connection between the Bellefleurs and the Comptons. Caroline simply says "You cannot", in reference to Bill dating/sleeping with Portia. Bill tells Portia they cannot be involved any longer and leaves abruptly, refusing to give her a reason why. Portia persists and follows Bill outside where he reluctantly explains that her great-great grandmother was Elizabeth Harris, who was the daughter of Lionel Harris and Sarah Compton. After Portia fails to make the connection, Bill further explains that Sarah Compton was his daughter, which makes Bill her great-great-great-great grandfather. ("I'm Alive and on Fire")
Later Portia returns to persuing Bill, arriving at his mansion and explaining to him the growing social acceptance of incest and the fact that they could never procreate. Bill continuously refuses and in the end decides to Glamour her into screaming and running away everytime she sees him.
